MARRIED TO THE MOB. . . . 13 QUESTIONS WITH ONI LOGAN
With the forthcoming release of the new LYNCH MOB album, (SMOKE AND MIRRORS) featuring half of the original LYNCH MOB line up including ONI LOGAN (FERRARI,
VIOLETS DEMISE), George Lynch (DOKKEN), as well as Scott Coogan (BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION) on drums, who happens to be one quarter of Oni's old cohorts
VIOLETS DEMISE, and Marco Mendoza (BLUE MURDER, WHITESNAKE) who can only be described as a "bass monster", I thought I would take the opportunity to
ask Oni some questions about the new album as well as his musical history, influences and journey through it all.

I have occasional email correspondence with Oni and am constantly pestering him for news on his musical world and one day I got an email saying, "I'm
working with a guitar hero". I had to work it out, hmm......you could have used the word "again" Oni. The Dastardly Duo were back and on the way
to recording a follow up to the highly revered WICKED SENSATION.

After perusing many music forums I have found many fans looking forward to this incarnation of the band recording a new album and touring, stirring up fond
memories of "cranking WICKED SENSATION in the hot LA sun with a few cold ones". I however vividly remember getting to Venus Records in rainy a
Fareham (UK) at opening time on the day of release somewhere in 1990 to pick up the one copy they had, which the store lady was just about to put on the hi-fi.
I snapped it up before one note was played, much to her annoyance! Great times!!

I have also noticed that many people put the WICKED SENSATION album in their top 10 hard rock albums, if not, on several occasions, number 1, which is a great
testament to its musicianship and longevity.

Anyways, back to business..........

Let's start with a little background on the man.

Growing up in New York, Connecticut and Florida, he was heavily influenced by Classic Rock and his brother Omar, who had him playing drums in his band by the
time he was 11. He soon knew exactly what he wanted and fronted bands like DEFIANCE and others in Florida.

After doing studio work in New York, Oni went to California to join FERRARI. He parted when George Lynch offered him to be part of the to be formed LYNCH MOB.
The WICKED SENSATION Tour took him to Europe and Japan. Upon returning and touring the US, Oni realized, he wanted to continue his music career with a more
meaningful message.

He found his counterpart in Guitar player ROWAN ROBERTSON. Together they founded VIOLETS DEMISE and recorded what was to become an unreleased album, that has
since been available as a qualitatively crappie bootleg.

Disappointed in his misfortune, Oni lost himself for years, only to rediscover his love for music. He reappeared in the LA Club Scene with a band called HEAD
SET. A group of close friends who had patiently drawn him out of his shell.

No more the recluse he had been for so long, he once again enjoyed playing out. He also reunited with Lynch in 2000 to go on tour with RONNIE JAMES DIO and
ARMORED SAINT.

After reconvening with Rowan Robertson, Oni recorded an EP, finally released the VIOLETS DEMISE album under the name of "LOGAN/ROBERTSON - REVISITED"
before deciding to move to Switzerland with his family.

Fast forward a couple of years, an excellent solo album STRANGER IN A FOREIGN LAND and now we have another reunion with George Lynch, which started with a few
live dates including ROCKLAHOMA 2008 (with its much reported thunderstorm just before the Mob took to the stage), and new LYNCH MOB album on the way.
Anticipation reigns supreme.

This is going to be the one interview with Oni that does not feature the infamous "FERRARI" question!

1. Oni can we start at the beginning, well not the very beginning but, what was your very first venture into the "professional" music world? Did you
work with anyone we would know?

WHEN I FIRST REALLY STARTED TO NOTICE THAT I MIGHT TAKE FLIGHT IN THE MUSIC BIZ WAS AROUND 1987 OR 1988, AROUND THIS TIME PERIOD I FOUND MYSELF RECORDING WITH
DIFFERENT MUSICIANS AND BEING FLOWN AROUND WITHIN THE USA, ONE MUSICIAN THAT COMES TO MIND OFF THE TOP OF HEAD IS ROSS THE BOSS, HE WAS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF
THE DICTATORS, THE NEW YORK 70's BAND, THEY ALONG WITH BLONDIE AND THE RAMONES THE TALKING HEADS etc WERE AMONGST THAT WHOLE CBGB"s NEW WAVE SCENE OF
MUSIC...... IRONICALLY ENOUGH I WAS JUST WATCHING A SHOW ON THE BBC NOT LONG AGO REGARDING THIS MOVEMENT AND TIME PERIOD AND THERE HE WAS ROSS THE
BOSS......CHEERS TO YA,
BY THE WAY THANKS ROSS FOR THE INVITE TO THE BEST CHINESE FOOD IN NEW YORK DIRECTION SOHO, ROSS LATER WOULD BECOME A FOUNDING MEMBER OF MANOWAR.

2. Who were your main influences, vocally and musically when you were starting out?

EARLY INFLUENCES WERE ALL THE CLASSIC ROCKERS LIKE.... PLANT, ROGERS, STEWART, I WOULD SPIN THEIR RECORDS AND TRY TO KEEP UP AND SING WITH THESE GIANTS....ONE
ALBUM THAT COMES TO MIND WAS JEFF BECKS AND ROD STEWARTS TRUTH RECORD WITH SHAPES OF THINGS AND ROCK ME PLIMSOUL.......I GUESS IN THE END THE RECORDS THAT
INFLUENCED AND MOLDED ME WERE ZEPPS 1ST & SECOND RECORD, BAD CO'S STRAIGHT SHOOTER ALBUM ALONG WITH THEIR FIRST,
A BIT LATER I GOT INTO RAINBOW WHICH I THOUGHT WERE FANTASTIC, I REMEMBER THE DAY'S I WOULD SPEND TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH RONNIE DIO, ON THE ALBUM RAINBOW
RISING.......LOL, NO CHANCE.....NOT TO MANY YEARS LATER I WOULD MEET HIM IN PERSON, I WAS FLOORED AS TO HOW HE TOOK HIS TIME TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE VOICE AND
MUSIC IN GENERAL,
I WAS EVEN INVITED FOR DRINKS WITH THEM AT THE BAR....
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER........THIS WAS 1988 WEST PALM BEACH FLA.
TIL THIS DAY WERE STILL IN TOUCH AND I CONSIDER HIM A FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIEND,
CHEERS TO YA RON.

3. I have seen pictures of you fronting RACER X, how long did this last and what happened during this period?

RACER X.....SMOKIN' MUSICIAN'S NO DOUBT THERE..
I WAS TO BECOME THEIR NEW VOCALIST, I EVEN REHEARSED WITH THEM A FEW TIMES AND GOT UP ON STAGE WITH THEM AND PERFORMED SLIDE IT IN BY DAVID COVERDALE & THE
SNAKES, THE CANYON CLUB IN RESEDA CA 1989 I BELIEVE......LOOKING BACK ON IT I SHOULD HAD TAKEN THE OFFER THOUGH IN THE END I DECIDED TO TAKE THE FERRARI GIG
INSTEAD WHICH SHORTLY LEAD TO COURTED BY GEORGE AND MICK FROM DOKKEN FOR THERE NEW BAND WHICH WOULD BECOME THE LYNCH MOB .
JUST A LITTLE NOTE FOR THE CURIOUS..... IT WAS JOHN ALDERETTIE THAT HAD BROUGHT UP MY NAME TO GEORGE FOR HIS NEW PROJECT THAT WAS TO BECOME THE LYNCH MOB....IF
IT HADN'T BEEN FOR JOHN, GEORGE AN I WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY NEVER MET
SO THANKS & CHEERS JOHN.

4. WICKED SENSATION is a lot of people's favourite hard rock album. There have been a few stories on the struggles of recording this monster. What is your
take on the recording sessions? Were there any tracks recorded that did not make it to the final cut? (and can we have them?!)

THE WICKED SENSATION RECORDING.......I DON'T RECALL IT BEING TO MUCH OF A STRUGGLE OTHER THEN THE FACT THAT IT TOOK QUITE A LONG TIME TO WRITE THE
SONGS........ AS FAR AS THE RECORDING, SPEAKING FOR MYSELF THERE WERE OR WAS A FEW RUN IN's IN THE STUDIO OR OUTSIDE THE STUDIO..... THOUGH THIS IS NOTHING
NEW OR OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHEN THE MUSICIANS OR THE PRODUCERS DON'T KEEP THEIR EGO'S IN CHECK......AT ANY RATE , THE ALBUM CAME OUT GREAT, MAX NORMAN
DID A GREAT JOB AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I'M PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS PARTICULAR RECORDING.

5. You have reunited various time over the years with George; the SYZYGY sessions, 2000 tour and recently. It feels like a "can't live with, cant live
without" type of musical relationship. Is that fair to say and how did the reunion transpire this time? Did you feel it was finally the right time to put
another album down on tape with George?

THE LOVE / HATE RELATIONSHIP......LOL......TO BE HONEST THERE WAS ALWAYS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF INTEREST WHEN PEOPLE GOT WIND OF A REUNION BETWEEN G AND I ,
WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO IS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR THESE SONGS LIVE FROM WICKED PREFERABLY WITH THE ORIGINAL GUY WHO WROTE AND SUNG ON THE RECORDING, THIS IS
HOW WE WERE ABLE TO GET ON THE DIO TOUR etc.....
AS FAR AS OUR MUSICAL RELATIONSHIP.......IT'S NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE THAT WE CAN'T LIVE WITH OR WITHOUT ONE ANOTHER OR DON'T RESPECT OR CARE FOR EACH
OTHER, I MEAN LOOK, THE GUY GAVE ME MY FIRST BIG BREAK IN THE MUSIC BIZ AND FOR THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL, SURE WE MAY HAVE HAD A TIFF IN THE PAST OR
THERE WERE SOME WORDS THAT WERE THROWN LIKE DAGGERS IN THE PRESS. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY AND I'M SURE GEORGE WOULD AGREE, OUR CHEMISTRY IS HARD TO COME
BY AND I THINK WE BOTH ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ......... POINT BLANK .
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT WORKING WITH HIM AGAIN HAS STRAIGHTENED OUR FRIENDSHIP TO THE POINT THAT IF WE EVER HAD A DISAGREEMENT WE'D BOTH WOULD WALK
AWAY IN PEACE.

6. Now onto probably my favourite era, VIOLETS DEMISE, which produced an otherworldly album. I have a feeling it was a pretty "dark" time for you,
judging by some of the lyrical content of the album? Did the band actually play any gigs? What was the inspiration behind the band name? Did the unreleased
album have an intended title? Any chance of a meeting of minds again?

THE BAND NAME VIOLET'S DEMISE WAS PEGGED AFTER ROWAN'S GRANDMOTHER.
QUITE MORBID WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT BUT AT THE TIME QUITE BEAUTIFUL AS WELL......SHE WAS DYING AND WE DESPERATELY NEEDED A BAND NAME.......SO ONE DAY THE QUIET
ONE ROWAN BLURBED OUT THE NAME AND I INSTANTLY LOVED IT.
SO AS THE RESULT OF HER DEMISE A BAND NAME WAS FOUND.....
VIOLET'S WOULD NEVER SEE THE STAGE TOGETHER IN IT'S ORIGINAL FORM...THOUGH THERE IS A BOOTLEG FROM THE KEY CLUB IN WHICH SCOT COOGAN THE ORIGINAL
DRUMMER PERFORMED WITH US FOR A BENEFIT SHOW IN LA.
MEETING OF THE MINDS..... I HONESTLY WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN THOUGH IN REALITY THE WAY WE WORKED TOGETHER FOR THE RECORDING OF THE ALBUM WAS OF A CLASSIC
ROCK FASHION, WHEN THE MUSICIANS WOULD GET IN A ROOM AND IMPROVISE AND RECORD THE SESSIONS...... I NOW LIVE IN EUROPE AND I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WORK
SHARING FILES OR MP3'S, THIS ANIMAL CALLED VIOLET'S DEMISE IS A SPECIAL PLACE, WHERE THE ONLY WAY FOR IT TO COME TO FRUITION IS BY WORKING TOGETHER,
THIS IS A MATTER OF LOGISTICS......... LIKE MONEY, AN INVESTMENT FROM A LABEL, OR A PRIVATE PERSON...... FOR THE ARTS.
ANYONE INTERESTED ???????? GET IN TOUCH WITH ME ON WWW.MYSPACE/ONILOGAN

7. Moving on a many years you decided to "up sticks" with the family and move to Switzerland. I can totally understand why, but tell me the reasoning
behind the move and did it affect your musical headspace? What are you doing with your time in the shadow of the mountains?

THE DECISION TO MOVE TO SWITZERLAND WAS FOR A SEVERAL REASONS, ONE, A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MY FAMILY AND I, TWO, TO SIMPLY JUST DROP OFF THE RADAR WAS
APPEALING TO ME, THIS CONSTANT FISH BOWL MENTALITY OF TRYING TO ATTAIN SUCCESS IN HOLLYWOOD IS A LIE...... FOR ME ANYWAY.
IT GAVE ME A CHANCE TO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING JUST TO BE AWAY FROM ALL AND ANY INFLUENCES.
IT DEFINITELY DID HAVE A MAJOR EFFECT ON MY CREATIVITY, AN EXAMPLE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER WRITTEN "WINTER LAND" IF I HAD NOT BEEN THERE IN THE MOMENT
WHEN I WAS SITTING WITH AN ACOUSTIC LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW AT THE SNOW FALLING IN A TRANCE STRUMMING IN AN OPEN TUNING.
AS FAR AS HOW I SPEND MY TIME, IT VARIES, YOU COULD FIND ME WANDERING THROUGH THE WOODS OR BY A RIVER WALKING MY DOG GAUCHO OR YOU COULD SIMPLY FIND ME AT HOME
OUTSIDE IN THE GARDEN HANGING UP LAUNDRY TO DRY......LOL.
A SIMPLE LIFE FOR A SIMPLE PERSON WITH A MYSTIC MIND.

8. Next onto the solo album STRANGER IN A FOREIGN LAND from a few years ago. A lot of divided opinion on this one. A total shift in musical direction, which I
have a feeling sits more comfortably with you. Give me some thoughts on the writing this album and some of the people involved? Was it nice writing music
purely for you?

THE ALBUM STRANGER IN A FOREIGN LAND WAS A DELIBERATE AND CONSCIOUS DECISION AT A NEW DIRECTION, I MEAN, IT WAS JUST ME WITH AN ACOUSTIC ON A FARM, THERE WAS
NO BAND NO CO WRITERS NO EXPECTATIONS FROM ME TO WRITE A HARD ROCK RECORD, WHATEVER CAME OUT IS WHAT WAS RECORDED IN THE END.
IN HINDSIGHT I TOOK A LOT OF HEAT FROM THE PRESS ABOUT IT..... NOW THAT I LOOK BACK ON THAT TIME PERIOD IT SIMPLY JUST WAS A QUIET TIME IN MY LIFE.
I REMEMBER SOMETHING THAT NEIL YOUNG ONCE SAID WHEN PEOPLE WERE CONFUSED ABOUT HIS DIRECTION AT TIMES, HE SAID THERE IS A TIME TO BE CHAOTIC LIKE WITH HIS BAND
CRAZY HORSE AND THERE IS ALSO A TIME TO BE A BIT MORE MELLOW = HIS SOLO STUFF .
ALL WHO PLAYED ON THE ALBUM WERE PRO AND ALL WELL KNOWN PLAYERS, I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE, AS A MATTER OF FACT I JUST WAS
IN TICINO FOR THE MOON AND STARS EVENT AND SAW DON AIREY THERE PERFORMING WITH DEEP PURPLE , MY IMPRESSION OF DON STILL REMAINS ,
HE'S AN UNBELIEVABLE PLAYER AS WELL AS A VERY WARM PERSON, HE GAVE MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE OF THE BAND AS A TOKEN FROM HER FIRST
CONCERT , WHAT A GEM.

9. Most important question at this time. LYNCH MOB are back, starting with some recent live dates, including ROCKLAHOMA 2008 and now the new album. Give us all
the gossip. How were the shows? How have the recent recording sessions been going and has it been strange recording with George again? Some people are
expecting WICKED SENSATION Part Deux (myself not included). How would you describe the finished article?

TIME WITH THE MOB, YEAH, IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TO GET OUT AND GET MY ROCK N ROLL LEGS ON AGAIN.....THE SHEAR ENERGY OF THE PERFORMANCES HAVE BEEN A SHOT TO THE
ARM FOR ME.
THE LINE UP THAT WE HAVE WITH MARCO MENDOZA ON BASS AND SCOT COOGAN ON DRUMS HAS BEEN A REAL TREAT FOR ME AND GEORGE, THEY BOTH SING AND GROOVE IN A 70'S
VIBE.
RECORDING WITH G, I THINK I PROBABLY SAW HIM A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES DURING THE WHOLE RECORDING OF THE NEW LM ALBUM.
I'M LAUGHING AT THE THOUGHT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.... IT JUST WORKED OUT THIS WAY, I WAS STILL WRITING AND RE WRITING LYRICS WITH MUCH PRESSURE
KNOWING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE SONG THE NEXT DAY, SO WE WORKED IT OUT TO WHERE G WOULD TAKE THE DAY SHIFT AND I WOULD TAKE THE NIGHT SHIFT,
ALSO TO BE HONEST, HE DIDN'T NEED ME TO HOLD HIS HAND WHILE HE WAS CUTTING GUITARS, AS WELL AS I DIDN'T NEED HIM TO BE THERE WHILE I WAS CUTTING
VOCALS........
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE BOTH PROFESSIONALS WHO RESPECT EACH OTHERS ABILITIES WHEN IT COMES TO THE STUDIO AND TRACKING, OF COURSE WE BOTH HAD SUGGESTIONS OR
IDEAS ABOUT A SONG IN THE MIDST OF RECORDING THE ALBUM IN WHICH WE BOTH ACCOMMODATED EACH OTHERS WISHES IN THE END.
THE WRITING AND RECORDING FOR THE NEW LM ALBUM WAS HARD WORK AS WELL AS EXCITING AS THE SONGS STARTED TO TAKE SHAPE......
TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL, GEORGE MARCO AND SCOT WERE IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM CUTTING GROOVES AND I WAS EITHER ON A PLANE ON MY WAY TO LA OR IN A ROOM WRITING LYRICS,
WHEN I DID GET TO LA I ALMOST DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GO FOR AN ALE OR TWO AT A PUB, SO THE WHOLE TIME THAT I WAS THERE IT WAS ALL ABOUT LM WHICH IN RETURN
IT PAID OFF ONCE I HEARD THE ALBUM IN IT'S ENTIRETY....... A VERY SOLID ROCK ALBUM THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF.

10. A lot of people are asking me if you are still in touch with Anthony Esposito (LYNCH MOB)? Was there at any point a chance of getting the original Mob back
together?

THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO ANT IT WAS REGARDING THE UNRESOLVED ISSUE OF PAST MECHANICAL ROYALTIES FROM THE EARLIER LYNCH MOB ALBUMS, HE WAS INVOLVED IN TWO AND
I ONLY ONE WHICH WAS WICKED SENSATION.
SINCE THEN HE HASN'T RETURNED MY CALL OR E-MAILS WHICH IS ODD SINCE OUT OF THE FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS HE WAS THE ONLY ONE I HAD KEPT IN TOUCH WITH THROUGH
OUT THE YEARS.....I WAS THE ONE WHO FOUGHT FOR ANTHONY TO BE IN THE LYNCH MOB, THAT'S HOW DEEP IT GOES.......
AND FOR WHAT EVER IT'S WORTH I'M HERE TO SAY THAT THERE'S STILL BAD BLOOD AS TO WHO GOT ONE OVER ON THE OTHER AND IT WOULD BE UNJUST TO TARGET
ANTHONY SOLELY, SO YES THERE WERE MISTAKES MADE AND I'M SURE ALL PARTIES WOULD ATTEST TO THIS IN THE NAME OF OLD MIGHTY GREED, BUT THAT WAS THE PAST AND I
CAN ONLY HOPE THAT WE CAN MOVE ON TOWARDS RESOLVING AND HEALING THIS DELICATE SITUATION.
REGARDING THE WICKED SENSATION ALBUM I'VE TRIED TO BE SOME WHAT OF THE MEDIATOR TO RESOLVE OUR ISSUE AND TO FINALLY HAVE THE ORIGINAL FOUR MEMBERS RECEIVE
ANY FUTURE ROYALTIES DIRECTLY,
BUT FOR THE MOMENT ANTHONY HOLDS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE PAST WRONG DOING'S.
AGAIN I'M NOT DIRECTLY POINTING THE FINGER AT ANTHONY BECAUSE I KNOW HE ALSO HAS HIS VALID ARGUMENT, I ONLY HOPE THAT WE CAN LAY THIS TO REST.

11. Two questions for giggles……You are marooned on a desert island with a solar powered record player, what 5 albums do you save from the sinking ship?

ALBUMS ARE MY FAVORITE WAY TO LISTEN TO MUSIC,
1. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI : BY ZEPPS
2. DAVID GILMORE : FIRST SOLO ALBUM
3. BEATLES : THE ABBEY ROAD ALBUM
4. JIMMY CLIFFS : REGGAE GREATS ALBUM ON THE MANGO LABEL
5. SOUND SCAPES : MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS COMPOSER SHIV KUMAR SHARMA

12. You're having a dinner party for 5 guests, what famous people throughout history do you invite to enjoy the conversation and fine wine?

NOW I'M BENDING THE RULES A BIT HERE BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT THE QUITE BEATLE AND KAHLIL GIBRAN HAVE PASSED.
1. RAVI SHANKAR
2. GEORGE HARRISON
3. KAHLIL GIBRAN
4. MARIANNE FAITHFUL
5. JONI MITCHEL
EVERYONE INVITED WOULD HAVE TO PERFORM OR RECITE A PIECE OF POETRY FOR THEIR INDIAN CURRY AND WINE.

13. Extra bonus question, I had to post this question asked on the MR forum, "how far down does the River of Love go, and does that mean there is an Ocean
of Love somewhere further on?"!!!

GOOD TITLE FOR A SONG......OCEAN OF LOVE. I LIKE IT !
I'LL SAVE THIS ONE FOR MY NEXT SOLO RECORDING.....WOULD YOU MIND ?

Any final thoughts?

ANY FINAL THOUGHTS ?
YEAH..... COME AND GET YOUR ROCKS OFF THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR THAT I'LL BE COMING THROUGH YOUR TOWN, CITY OR VILLAGE.

SMUGGLERS COVE / 09

Thanks a lot pal! Look forward to having something new for the CD player when the Mob finally hits. I'm ordering it online this time, no getting rained on
for me!!!

Wow.

How many times have we heard that sort of thing when it comes to someone's business dealings with GL?

i will be happy to reply the truth in an open forum anytime.
i had no wrong doings.
those who know my character and know his need not hear any explanations.
but i will be happy anytime to explain mine.........along with documents from 1990 to the present.
